Jul 21 2014 - 5:20pm

Benedict Cumberbatch has had a massive stroke of luck in 2014. After sweeping us off our feet and dominating our Sexiest Man of Award Season poll [1], he earned an Emmy nomination [2]; saw the release of the trailer for his latest film, The Imitation Game [3]; and even delighted Sherlock fans with the long-desired news of a fourth season [4]. Now, Benedict has been selected to be the latest wax figure at Madame Tussauds. We're lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the initial measurement session, and it comes as no surprise that Benedict was his usual, charming self. Scroll down to see the odd yet endearing pictures.
